It depends a bit of the filter used but analyzing a DSD to PCM conversion with Musicscope, there isn't much live above 44kHzHi Vincent, If you don't JRiver produces something ridiculous as a 24/352 pcm file and that is a huge one indeed. In the Format Conversion dialog you can invoke DSP studio. If you convert to PCM you need one to get rid of the quantization noise.Īs far as I know this setting is honored when transcoding on the fly or converting DSD to a PCM file. In Tools > Audio > Advanced > Configure input plug in, you can set the filter to be used. However, by upsampling we are presenting high bitrate music with the maximum signal to noise ratio and bandwidth- and that a good thing! Remember bit depth is just how low the noise is from the maximum level and sample rate is the bandwidth, neither one alone or together can tell you if a recording is good or not. Hence, the subjective responses to better sound. There is a part II to this, that Jriver or HQ Player may be more precise and use the computer's ability to do "slow math" (lots of calcs) much more than the DAC can muster. Most DACs go even higher bitrates internally.
Also, by doing the upconverting in the PC (Jriver) one can take advantage of the PC's ability to "lighten the load" of the DAC resource limited capacity. My understanding is that most DACs internally up convert from the native bitrate. A lot of people think this does the best PCM->DSD conversion, but it is not as flexible as JRiver.I do the same.

I want to try HQPlayer. Here is the error message in the event log: I think the batch file is working - I get the context menu choices and it starts dff2dsf but then get this message.
I tried to repair the program via the windows dialog - but no help. I installed bogi's batch file and ran it successfully once and then keep getting issues that dff2dsf stops working. dsf and the click issue with dsf before I embark on ripping a big stack of sacds. Hi, I am so happy to learn about the dff vs. Your idea of "renaming the current menu item to 'DFF to DSF - this file' and adding yet one item 'DFF to DSF - this directory'." would be good, for certainty say 'this file only' I get the 'dff2dsf.bat' option under 'open with' and the 'DFF to DSF' option under 'send to', see attached (a bove) pics.īoth work but which is for single dff file conversion and which is for sequentially many files? You don't need to use 'Run as administrator' when launching AddContextMenuItem.bat or RemoveContextMenuItem.bat in this version v1.1.0. The 'bold' option is provided only for quick access to single file conversion, otherwise you can always use the 'Send to' option. Then 'DFF to DSF' has to show in bold instead of Foobar2000. In the 'Open with' submenu you can select 'Choose default program.' and then you can choose dff2dsf. You don't see the bold 'DFF to DSF' option because you have defined Foobar2000 as the default program to open DFF files.
Paul3000h, glad to know it works for you! Remember the 'Do not move location of the.' instructions.įinal folder content after running the AddContextMenuItem.bat file looks like the attached pic. Then run as administrator the AddContextMenuItem.bat file which is one of the 3 files.
dff2dsf.exe into the new folder,įrom the unzipped other archive, ' 14704d1412103556-dff-dsf-conversion-dff2dsf_context_menu_win7_win8_v110 ' copy the 3 files in it to same folder ie ' dff2dsf AddContextMenuItem '
I get the 'dff2dsf.bat' option under 'open with' and the 'DFF to DSF' option under 'send to', see attached pics.īoth work but which is for single dff file conversion and which is for sequentially?Įxample: Create a folder anywhere called ' dff2dsf AddContextMenuItem 'įrom the unzipped dff2dsf archive copy this file. I struggled to get the installation location exactly right so this is what I did,īut I am not getting the Bold option on right click a dff file.
Thanks to all for this very welcome program now Korg is no longer available.
